Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Fun and Excitement

I worked the shop this morning while The Motivator ran the Paint n Create workshop.

We had a lot of traffic through the shop while there was noise coming from the training room indicating fun and excitement!

The participants learned a new method today and they were obviously very happy with their results, leaving at the end of the morning with very big smiles on their faces.

The Motivator and I also left with very big smiles on our faces.

I came home to watch YouTube and in about 15 minutes created this ...


It’s not what I expected, but will try again tomorrow.

For me, there has been disappointing results in the footy finals this weekend and I am currently in bed watching an AFL finals game between GWS Giants and Brisbane Lions. It’s very close! Go the Lions!

Tomorrow is 15th September and it’s the date that Adoring Husband and I choose to celebrate as our Valentines Day. It’s the day we met face to face for the first time, after many months of chatting on line and over the phone - before the days of Skype and FaceTime.

2003 was the year, so it’s been 16 years!

Our valentine date will be a lunch in The Bay, probably at the marina. I’m excited!

Anyway, time for sleep now!

Nite all.
